I’m writing this post in efforts to educate parents on what they’re allowing their kids to partake in.
I’ve spent much of the past week playing, reading about, and watching others play Grand Theft Auto V, and I felt compelled to write this public service announcement regarding the game.t’s wonderfully done, really it is. The graphics are astounding, the banter between characters is gaudy, crude, and hilarious, and the choices of missions to complete in the game seem never-ending at this point, but yet–I have a small issue with the game.
The Enhanced and Expanded PC version of Rockstar Games' open world action game, GTA V, is facing backlash over its missing text chat feature.
My problem with the game is they want to install a Kernel level driver before I can even boot the game in sngle player mode I don't care about GTA online
I flat out refuse to allow any game kernal level it's a huge risk I don't need to take
It's not the only game that has done this. Ut it's absolutely shutting the dorr completely on PC gaming for me kernal level drivers are ineffective at preventing cheaters but publishers insist on continued use
My big issue is how long it takes to transition between open world and interiors in Online.
Sometimes it can take over a minute of just starring at a black screen.
Let it sleep already R*. VI is coming and this game has had 12 years in the spotlight.
Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced Edition comes to PC as a free upgrade as Rockstar prepares to launch its next blockbuster (GTA 6). In less than a week, the upgraded version has garnered close to 200K concurrent players on Steam. Unfortunately, the game is far from perfect. W
It looks great, got everything running on ultra, have long shadows set to max and it's running silky smooth.
The ray tracing and lighting makes the game look amazing.
The reflections are a noisy mess, particularly with DLSS. Shame they didn't have ray reconstruction, seems to work wonders for cyberpunk
The reflections are like a mirror, I have no noise at all. Are you sure you have it set correctly?

I've everything maxed out. the reflections DO have a lot of noise in them in motion. When you stop for a second to look at them they look okay but when you're driving around there's a definite blur and sparkle to them that you often get from RT. Again, exactly the same as you get in Cyberpunk without ray reconstruction but is much reduced with.
I really don't have that, what you see here is what I have in motion even online vids have it completely clear. I'm running of a 5090 with everything set to the highest.

Ah I see. Well if you have a 5090 then I'm guessing are you're probably getting quite a high frame rate (I'm guessing hitting that 120 fps max), which will make a difference too, since the RT samples in the reflections accumulate temporally. I'm on a 3080 so I'm keeping my frame rate around 60-75 at 4K, and the low sample/high noise of the RT is definitely apparent… particularly on moving cars at night time I've noticed the most (makes sense given highest contrast between light and dark) DLSS amplifies the noise too, it's the big thing that sticks out as low fidelity when the rest resolves nicely
Just had a chance to watch this on my 4K monitor now. Do you not see the blurriness of the reflections in relation to everything else in motion? Like it's definitely better and less noisy than it is for me at 60fps with quality DLSS but it's still pretty bad compared to how crisp the screen space/cubemap ones were when driving about. fine when you stop for a second but driving around you're rarely stopped so it's near constant muddy reflections.
The Enhanced & Expanded ray tracing update for GTA V is available on PC, and we can now do a comparison with the vanilla version of the game.
I want to know one thing, who is saying this should be played by kids? I mean I know there is a lot of parents buying this for their kids but is there really anyone who knows the game that thinks seriously that this game could be played by kids? If so please reply with your reason as to why you think so. Ok everyone else, carry on.
Parents please be responsible, GTA is not a game for Kids hence it's M-rating, M-Rated games are for people 17 and up.
This might help

We've had enough B.S. stories of violent video games, kids and guns, we don't need any more.
Like it or not, kids are going to play it. Don't see any harm in say a 14 year old playing it tbh, they're old enough to understand it's a form of entertainment only. I'd be more concerned about some mentally unstable person with a collection of guns getting their hands on it.
This is why us ADULTS can't have nice things... Irresponsible adults giving their kid below the age of 18 a game rated 18+!
All the parents need to know is that there is a reason for the big red 18 label on the box.
And that they as a adults should act as a parents and do the job they took when deciding to get a child.
There are to many bad parents out there not doing their job.
